Let’s Talk! The Commission on Diversity and Racial Equity (CODRE) wants to hear from the UofL Campus Community. CODRE is hosting campus-wide listening sessions to provide opportunities for faculty, staff and students to engage in discussion on topics relevant to diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism.

Our next session is Wednesday, Oct. 18, 12-1:30 p.m., on MS Teams, and will address, “How will UofL recruit and retain racial diversity?”

Over the summer, the Supreme Court ruling ended race-based affirmative action initiated by the lawsuits from the University of North Carolina and Harvard University. What impact does this ruling have on the University of Louisville community? Additionally, with recent laws in Florida and Texas to eliminate DEI work, departments and titles dedicated to DEI have been changing names. As affirmative action ends and an attack on DEI efforts continues to spread, how will we recruit and retain racial diversity at the University of Louisville?
